Aplopus sp. (Gray, 1835)

PSG no. 61

Origin of culture stock: Dominican Republic


Sub Family: Cladomorphinae

Foodplant in captivity:  I have only ever tried bramble.

Humidity requirements:  I reared the nymphs/ sub-adults in a plastic tank, and the leaves were misted once or twice a week (slightly more frequently in the summer).

Comment:  I only managed to rear this species to the stage photographed below, and then they all started to mysteriously die...
